Erdem S/S 2011

These are a few of my favourites from Erdem. I loved what they did last season so i was excited to see what they would create for spring/summer. It's very, very beautiful. Mainly black and white (although there is some amazing navy) and that stunning flower print, it's perfect for getting lost in a magic forest. This season there is a trend of showing flesh but not showing it, by covering it with lace or sheer fabric. There is something about lace and high collars that looks so good.

Proenza Schouler S/S 2011

Although the colour has been slightly turned down in this collection (except for the fluro twenties style dresses, perfect for doing the Charleston in space) it's still fantastic. I think what attracts me most to it is that it all looks so soft! I just want to lie in a big pile of it. The pink and nudes hues are so soft they make me a little bit sleepy, but the good sleepy, like when you wake up on a Saturday thinking it's Friday and then realise you don't have to get up and you can in fact roll over and doze to your hearts content. This is definitly a less-skin-is-more vibe, something i think is getting more popular, it's all about suggestion of the shape underneath rather than flaunting the flesh that makes a woman sexy. This season's woman has such a powerful stride she's making the ground shake. Men beware.

Prada S/S 2011

Prada is really, really funky this season. It all feels very twenties what with the fur stoles, t-bar shoes and fantastic hair, but it's like someone from the twenties had a naughty menage tois with the eighties and nineties producing the colours, wide sleeves, the stripes and monkey and banana prints. It's completely mental. And i love it. The shapes are really bold too, i love seeing a full sleeve in a fabric other than silk or chiffon so it holds it's shape and stands up proudly (as it should). But despite all this it is totally wearable. All each piece needs is a white t-shirt or a pair of wide leg beige trousers and it's good to go.

Jil Sander

I am in love. The colours are amazing. They practically glow. I wish that Stabilo did fabric pens. I want to paint my entire wardrobe with Raf Simons amazingly refreshing brush. Each piece has so much swish! but they look so easy to wear at the same time! I love the styling as well. Classic shoes, no accessories and pink lips. It's fantastical yet strong and sophisticated. Like if artists' had to work in an office environment. I want the pink maxi skirt with the side splits so bad.
